The effects of lifting speed on the peak external forward bending, lateral bending, and twisting spine moments.
Lifting tasks that involve twisting have been repeatedly implicated as contributing to the onset of occupational back injuries in epidemiological studies. The objective of this work was to quantify the three directional external moments acting on the spine during a sagittally symmetric and two asymmetric lifting tasks. A total of 15 subjects participated in the three lifting tasks. All tasks we...
متن کاملTwisting and bending stress in DNA minicircles.
The interplay between bending of the molecule axis and appearance of disruptions in circular DNA molecules, with ∼100 base pairs, is addressed. Three minicircles with different radii and almost equal contents of AT and GC pairs are investigated. The DNA sequences are modeled by a mesoscopic Hamiltonian which describes the essential interactions in the helix at the level of the base pair and inc...
متن کاملInextensible Networks with Bending and Twisting Effects
Families of inextensible fibers forming a surface are considered. Each fiber supports a twisting couple proportional to the torsion of the fiber. The strain energy density is written in an additive form, such that the contributions due to shearing, twisting and bending effects are taken into account separately. The equilibrium equations, here obtained, are a particular case of the ones obtained...
متن کاملBending and Twisting Elasticity of DNA
We derive the elastic theory suitable for describing the free energy required to deform a stiff helical molecule with the symmetry of DNA. At quadratic levels in the strains we find, in addition to the independent bending and torsional energies incorporated in previous theories, a previously unknown coupling between twist and bend. If the backbone is given constant curvature, minimization of th...
متن کاملChromatin remodeling by DNA bending, not twisting.
Single-stranded regions (gaps) in nucleosomal DNA interfere with action of the RSC chromatin-remodeling complex, monitored by exposure of restriction endonuclease cutting sites. Single-strand breaks (nicks) in the DNA, by contrast, have no effect. Gaps on one side of the cutting site are inhibitory, but gaps on the other side are not. A gap >100 bp from the cutting site is as effective as a gap...
